This special program brings together several of Hartley’s rarely seen recent works. Produced on digital video, they include the shorts The New Math(s), based on a text by William Blake and with a score by the celebrated Dutch composer Louis Andriessen, and The Other Also, commissioned by a French art gallery. Also included is Hartley’s striking contribution to the "2000 Seen By" series of international works commissioned by French television, The Book of Life, a darkly comic retelling of the Apocalypse with Martin Donovan as Jesus and Thomas Jay Ryan as the Devil. Hartley will also screen and discuss his most recent film, the lyrical Kimono, a ghost-story psychodrama which features Miho Nikaidoh.
